NZXT reveals Kraken G10 mounting bracket for graphics cards

NZXT introduces the Kraken G10, a new mouting bracket that enables you to mount liquid cooling solutions to your GPU. The bracket is sold for $29.99. With rapid developments in the world of all-in-one liquid cooling, CPU cooling has become simple, cost-effective and most importantly, powerful. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for aftermarket GPU cooling. At least not until now.

The Kraken G10 is designed to finally bring high performance, cost-effective cooling to the GPU by incorporating existing all-in-one liquid cooling technology to a majority of modern video cards, regardless of chipset or manufacturer.The Kraken G10 is designed to finally bring high performance, cost-effective cooling to the GPU by incorporating existing all-in-one liquid cooling technology to a majority of modern video cards, regardless of chipset or manufacturer.

Made entirely of steel, the Kraken G10 bracket allows users to mount NZXT Kraken coolers as well as non-NZXT brand liquid coolers to their GPU with ease. (See compatibility list for compatible coolers) Included with the bracket is a 92 mm fan used to cool the VRM and other video card components.

Combined with the high performance abilities of the Kraken cooler, the Kraken G10 offers over 40% cooling increases over stock coolers, a level of performance that is traditionally only achievable with a costly custom liquid cooled setup. Combined with Nvidia's GPU Boost 2.0 or AMD's PowerTune, Kraken G10 equipped video cards can perform cooler and faster than ever.

The Kraken G10 also includes zip-tie points to hide tubing behind its slick exterior, ensuring your video card looks just as amazing as it performs. Available now for just $29.99, the Kraken G10 comes in black, white or red and can be purchased directly from the NZXT armory store.

This is pretty intriguing. Seems like a better deal than the Arctic Cooling Accelero gpu cooler, especially given that you can pick which AIO cooler you want to use.

My only concern is about airflow over the memory chips on the left side of the GPU where there is no fan. Hilbert, this seems like a prime candidate for some thermal imaging photos!

Whoever posts news articles on the front page needs to start proof reading them.
Constantly putting the same sentence twice is making them a chore to read.

On topic:
It's good to see more people taking an interest in "all in one" GPU liquid cooling solutions.

I'm pretty sure (could be wrong though) that the news is a direct Google Translate version + most of the time taken directly from a feed elsewhere and not written by the Guru3D staff, which would explain why a lot of the news stories have strange wording and other errors.

Dwood from OCN has been making these brackets since last year. He's been inactive for the last several months, wonder if NZXT has swooped up his idea...

I'm pretty sure Dwood got a patent for that design, so I hope NZXT is paying him royalties for every single one of these brackets they sell.

The presence of three little holes per corner around the core mounting means no, they are there so the whole thing can be fitted to different pcb designs
